Major Capabilities

Configuration tools: The web-based Cisco Configuration
Professional configuration tool simplifies deployment, management, and
troubleshooting through smart wizards and task-based tutorials. It

Ethernet managed switch provides connections for multiple devices. It
has the ability to designate a port as the network demilitarized zone

security through an intrusion prevention system (IPS) firewall and a
stateful packet inspection (SPI) firewall. It also provides dynamic
routing and advanced quality of service (QoS) features.
